Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown Upgraded To Available
3 weeks agoBoston Celtics forwards Jayson Tatum (knee) and Jaylen Brown (hand) have been upgraded to available to play in Thursday's matchup with the New York Knicks. Thursday is the first leg of Boston's back-to-back, so expect the first-place Celtics to hand out some maintenance days for Friday's game against the lowly Charlotte Hornets. Tatum is piling up 27.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 3.2 three-pointers per game over his last 14 appearances, while Brown is racking up 26.1 points, 6.2 boards, 3.1 dimes, and 2.3 threes per contest across his latest 13 showings. The two-way superstars have a tough test against a Knicks defense allowing the second-fewest points per game (108.1) in the Association this season, but they could be in for more usage if Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) sits out on Thursday.
